The Royal Wedding series by Ruby Dixon is a compact four-book collection built around the same premise: a woman is chosen (often against her will) to marry a king. Each book puts a different spin on the arranged marriage trope, from The King’s Spinster Bride to The King’s Reluctant Bride. All four books were published in 2018, so the series is easy to binge in a single sitting or two.
The tone falls somewhere between Ruby Dixon’s fantasy and paranormal work, with world-building that stays light in favor of focusing on the central couple’s dynamic. The heroines range from reluctant to horrified by their situation, and watching them come around (or not) provides much of the entertainment. It is one of Dixon’s shorter series, which makes it a good entry point for readers who want to try her non-alien romance work.
